Kathie Lee Gifford is back in the public square with a timely new book that every freedom-loving American should read. Nero and Paul: How the Gospel of Grace Defeated the Ruler of Rome lands today, March 10, 2026, and it isn’t a celebrity memoir — it’s a clear-eyed retelling of a clash between decadence and conviction that speaks straight to our moment.
Gifford teamed with scholar Bryan M. Litfin to craft this volume as part of her Ancient Evil, Living Hope series, blending rigorous history with vivid storytelling to show how the gospel toppled imperial arrogance. The project leans on serious scholarship while remaining accessible to families, churchgoers, and patriots who want a moral framework for resisting cultural rot.
You’ve heard her speak plainly about faith before, and Gifford’s message now is unmistakable: the true answer to a pleasure- and power-driven culture is gospel conviction, not hollow progressivism. She’s been unapologetic in interviews about putting Jesus first and rejecting the pieties of fashionable secular “religion,” and that blunt clarity is what makes this book dangerous to the elite consensus.
This isn’t a first rodeo for Kathie Lee; Nero and Paul follows Herod and Mary, part one of the trilogy that proved she can turn scripture and history into compelling, faith-strengthening reading for a broad audience. Conservatives should take note: Gifford is turning mainstream celebrity into a platform for moral clarity instead of the usual cultural capitulation we expect from Hollywood.
Publishers and Christian retailers have already stocked the book, and families looking for a faith-forward counterweight to today’s moral confusion can find it now at major outlets. This is the kind of cultural contribution that builds communities instead of tearing them down, and it deserves wide circulation among pastors, parents, and patriots.
Patriotic Americans who still believe in faith, family, and freedom should read Gifford’s work and talk about it in their churches and kitchens. When the high priests of fashionable nihilism sneer at faith, we answer with history, conviction, and witnesses like Kathie Lee who remind us that truth endures and that a people rooted in the gospel can resist every tyrant, ancient or modern.
